About 17 years ago, I read an article in Hot Press magazine (Dublin muso journal) about a guy who was writing the longest rhyming poem in the world, titled "You'll Never Find a Rhyme for Orange". 

According to the article, he was adding several verses every day.  The article then quoted a few verses - one that stuck in my mind was:

"You can wipe out half the world with a mutant killer virus / You can name your anal warts (I call mine Billy, Ray and Cyrus) / But you'll never find a rhyme for orange."

I've searched all over the web for this poem, but can't find it anywhere.

Anyone ever heard of it, or was it a drink-induced figment of my imagination?

gather it wasn't that - far too clean.

Anyway, according to http://www.write101.com/W.Tips90.htm

things that rhyme with orange are

- blorenge - a hill near Abergavenny, Wales

- sporange - a sac in which spores are produced;     sporangium

Will be following this thread with interest though, as I can't wait to read the full poem (all three million verses of it by now)

i don't know. please be successful so that we can all read it
Wasn't there once a shop in London called Gorringes?
